Auction result misses estimated price range
When the work Snow by John Henry Twachtman was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in May 2011, the result was somewhat disappointing. The auction house had previously given the estimated price as a range of USD 400,000.00 – 600,000.00, of which not even the lower limit was reached - in fact, the artwork changed hands for USD 326,500.00 (€ 227,114.64). Other works by John Henry Twachtman have also sold for higher prices; the highest price we have seen at auction so far was achieved in May 2007 by the work Hemlocks at USD 600,000.00 (€ 445,997.18).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Als die Arbeit Snow von John Henry Twachtman im Mai 2011 bei Sothebys in New York versteigert wurde, fiel das Ergebnis ein wenig enttäuschend aus. Das Auktionshaus hatte den Schätzpreis zuvor mit einer Spanne von USD 400.000,00 – 600.000,00 angegeben, von der nicht einmal die Untergrenze erreicht wurde - tatsächlich wechselte das Kunstwerk für USD 326.500,00 (€ 227.114,64) den Besitzer. Andere Arbeiten von John Henry Twachtman wurden auch schon teurer gehandelt; den höchsten Preis, den wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachten konnten, erzielte im Mai 2007 die Arbeit Hemlocks mit USD 600.000,00 (€ 445.997,18).
